Recently the discovery of magnetic order in two-dimensional monolayer chromium trihalides opens the new research field in two-dimensional materials. We use first-principles calculations to systematically examine the doping effect of chalcogen on CrBr3. In the case of S-doping, four stable configurations, Cr2Br5S, Cr2Br4S2-A, Cr2Br4S2-B and Cr2Br3S3-A, are predicted to be ferromagnetic semiconductors. It is found that the new bands appearing in the original bandgap are made up of S-p and Cr-d-egorbits, lead to the obvious reduce of bandgap and the enhanced optical absorption in the visible range. Due to the decrease of valence electron after chalcogen doping, the magnetic moment also decreases with the increase of S atoms, and the character of ferromagnetic semiconductor is always hold in a wide range of strain. The results shown that monolayer CrBr3with chalcogen doping supply a effectual way to control the magnetism and extend the optoelectronic applications.

The emergence of two-dimensional (2D) materials has attracted a great deal of attention due to their fascinating physical properties and potential applications for future nanoelectronic devices. Since the first isolation of graphene, a Dirac material , a large family of new functional 2D materials have been discovered and characterized, including insulating 2D boron nitride, semiconducting 2D transition metal dichalcogenides and black phosphorus, and superconducting 2D bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide, molybdenum disulphide and niobium selenide, etc. Here, we report the identification of ferromagnetic thin flakes of Cr2Ge2Te6 (CGT) with thickness down to a few nanometers, which provides a very important piece to the van der Waals structures consisting of various 2D materials. We further demonstrate the giant modulation of the channel resistance of 2D CGT devices via electric field effect. Our results illustrate the gate voltage tunability of 2D CGT and the potential of CGT, a ferromagnetic 2D material, as a new functional quantum material for applications in future nanoelectronics and spintronics.
Twist engineering, or the alignment of two-dimensional (2D) crystalline layers with desired orientations, has led to tremendous success in modulating the charge degree of freedom in hetero- and homo-structures, in particular, in achieving novel corre lated and topological electronic phases in moire electronic crystals. However, although pioneering theoretical efforts have predicted nontrivial magnetism and magnons out of twisting 2D magnets, experimental realization of twist engineering spin degree of freedom remains elusive. Here, we leverage the archetypal 2D Ising magnet chromium triiodide (CrI3) to fabricate twisted double bilayer homostructures with tunable twist angles and demonstrate the successful twist engineering of 2D magnetism in them. Using linear and circular polarization-resolved Raman spectroscopy, we identify magneto-Raman signatures of a new magnetic ground state that is sharply distinct from those in natural bilayer (2L) and four-layer (4L) CrI3. With careful magnetic field and twist angle dependence, we reveal that, for a very small twist angle (~ 0.5 degree), this emergent magnetism can be well-approximated by a weighted linear superposition of those of 2L and 4L CI3 whereas, for a relatively large twist angle (~ 5 degree), it mostly resembles that of isolated 2L CrI3. Remarkably, at an intermediate twist angle (~ 1.1 degree), its magnetism cannot be simply inferred from the 2L and 4L cases, because it lacks sharp spin-flip transitions that are present in 2L and 4L CrI3 and features a dramatic Raman circular dichroism that is absent in natural 2L and 4L ones. Our results demonstrate the possibility of designing and controlling the spin degree of freedom in 2D magnets using twist engineering.
Modulation-doped oxide two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) formed at the LaMnO3 (LMO) buffered disorderd-LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (d-LAO/LMO/STO) heterointerface, provides new opportunities for electronics as well as quantum physics. Herein, we studied the depe ndence of Sr-doping of La1-xSrxMnO3 (LSMO, x=0, 1/8, 1/3, 1/2, and 1) thus the filling of the Mn eg subbands as well as the LSMO polarity on the transport properties of d-LAO/LSMO/STO. Upon increasing the LSMO film thickness from 1 unit cell (uc) to 2 uc, a sharp metal to insulator transition of interface conduction was observed, independent of x. The resultant electron mobility is often higher than 1900 cm2V-1s-1 at 2 K, which increases upon decreasing x. The sheet carrier density, on the other hand, is in the range of 6.9E1012~1.8E1013 cm-2 (0.01~0.03 e/uc) and is largely independent on x for all the metallic d-LAO/LSMO (1 uc)/STO interfaces. These results are consistent with the charge transfer induced modulation doping scheme and clarify that the polarity of the buffer layer plays a trivial role on the modulation doping. The negligible tunability of the carrier density could result from the reduction of LSMO during the deposition of disordered LAO or that the energy levels of Mn 3d electrons at the interface of LSMO/STO are hardly varied even when changing the LSMO composition from LMO to SrMnO3.

We study the effects of bismuth doping on the crystal structure and phase transitions in single crystals of the perovskite semiconductor methylammonium lead tribromide, MAPbBr3. By measuring temperature-dependent specific heat capacity (Cp) we find t hat, as Bi doping increases, the phase transition assigned to the cubic to tetragonal phase boundary decreases in temperature. Furthermore, after doping we observe one phase transition between 135 and 155 K, in contrast to two transitions observed in the undoped single crystal. These results appear strikingly similar to previously reported effects of mechanical pressure on perovskite crystal structure. Using X-ray diffraction, we show that the lattice constant decreases as Bi is incorporated into the crystal, as predicted by density functional theory (DFT). We propose that bismuth substitutional doping on the lead site is dominant, resulting in BiPb+ centers which induce compressive chemical strain that alters the crystalline phase transitions.
We examine the response of a soft ferromagnetic film to an in-plane applied magnetic field. Our theory, based on asymptotic analysis of the micromagnetic energy in the thin-film limit, proceeds in two steps: first we determine the magnetic charge den sity by solving a convex variational problem; then we construct an associated magnetization field using a robust numerical method. Experimental results show good agreement with the theory. Our analysis is consistent with prior work by van den Berg and by Bryant and Suhl, but it goes much further; in particular it applies even for large fields which penetrate the sample.
